I feel like we've probably spent more for less! Any interaction with the medical industry for less than 1k feels like a steal to me.

I always tune into: https://kohina.com Thanks for sharing, I'll def put it on.

Not really sure what you're getting at there, I was a hired gun for about a year, founded a company and am having a great time. Last time I was at a corporate gig, I got a 2+ year …

I added sounds: https://github.com/gpurkins/waiting-for-claudot which has become a bit pavlovian. This along with notifications in iTerm is good enough to juggle some claude sessio…

I would have guessed nutrition, we live an in age of vitamins and fortified foods. You can get a lot of zinc and other metals from clams and oysters.

Is it? When you're inside the fence you get some IT cast off from the last guy that was cleaned up and re-spywared from 2-3y ago (sometimes worse!). As a hired gun (data science/en…

Pros buy their own tools. This is why working for yourself is better than working for a corpo, you get to choose your weapon.

Not your problem under the hot potato model. It's not impossible and here's the other thing: it often doesn't matter if things get broken to your megacorp as long as you keep up ap…

How is the payvider model better for customers? I see why it can reduce costs in a runaway cartel based system, but how does it prevent the two wolf scenario? (It's the same wolf i…

I think in the case of Optum + UnitedHealthCare being the Scylla and Charybdis of a healthcare situation, we should break up this style of business. Owning both sides of the equati…

It's about offloading blame. If a server nukes, it's on infra to get a guy to unscrew it. If a service nukes, infra guy says "welp it's down", keeps on clicking. It doesn't matter …

Hi, sorry, this is so disingenuous of a statement I cannot pass by it without commenting. My bona fides are 10y of lab work, specifically in bioenergetics. I can tell you that 5% i…

Software is a tool to solve a problem, as long as you keep finding problems that you can solve with it, you're likely to get paid to do it. If your crowning achievement is: "I can …

I had something similar to this happen to me, where some kid was causing trouble during nap time in kindergarten. I was an obsessively good kid, my parents took me everywhere with …

With dynamic pricing and other consumer predatory schemes out there, Costco feels like the only one that fights for the consumer. The checkout is lightyears faster than any local s…

That's the edge of what's possible, it's quite common even for researchers to have problems replicating results at the edge. There's sometime implicit knowledge in a technique that…

Nice. Bye.

A reason for the thick air of paranoia is that now, everyone knows someone that has been laid off. Simply so many that it is starting to hit home. Estimates are near 2008, and if y…

local models mean it never leaves the fence, I'd much rather do that.

Programming Windows is THE authoritative source on Win32 programming: https://www.charlespetzold.com/books.html It is a fantastic book, I learned everything I know on Win32 from it…

This also feels like "we're about to build a bunch of datacenters and we cannot meaningfully verify the quality of the concrete at our sites." This enables them to monitor the vari…

tl;dr: installed gitlab. I'm not bidding against you to not train on my data.

Probably the J01 SE, an electric model not available in the US due to tariffs, but available everywhere else.

Those 50y mortgages won't pay for themselves! Probably a good first step in life extension, I know a lot of first peeks at this came from hypothermic people. Those lessons are now …

I have tried to go completely mouse/trackpad free with vimari/vimium, scoot, and rectangle. Worked relatively well, and helps me move things around as fast as I can think. web move…
